Bolt-on vs T4 setup for 500 whp

[adampecush]

After having my car tuned and finding out that my turbo is not far off being dead, its time to upgrade. Just wondering what the best option is for a fairly quick spooling 500 whp. Is it worth my time to do a t4 set-up with external gate, or should I go with one of the bolt on options that are out there (sounds like SP is doing a billet 58 bolt on soon) I'm fairly inexperienced with what is available right now so any help is appreciated.

bolt on is cheeper and can do 500 and spool fast but will not rev as high as long runner could with the proper cams

all leav the rest up to you

GT3582R T4 gets my vote!

T4.

Good stuff guys. Looks like I'll probably go with something like a billet precision 5862 on a T4 set-up. I'm guessing on a turbo this small, the BB option won't really be worth it.

if i was you i go bolt on if your going to auto cross

Any particular reason?

I've heard a lot of bad experiences with the internal wastegates on the bolt-on turbos no matter where they are from.

i have an sp61gt dual ball bearing. bolt-on and i love it. quick spooling and rated up to 680hp. spools like 500rpm's slower than a ct26

Do the BB and a spool valve and then brag about faster than stock spool and 500hp

well, pulled the trigger on a set-up.

Comp CT4-6065 BB with a 0.70 AR divided exhaust housing. I think it may be a tad overkill for 500 WHP, but I suppose more power is only a set of injectors and a second fuel pump away.
